Feet Week Day 2 -MoveU

Flat feet? Plantar fasciitis? Strengthen your arches‼️ Don’t just rely on orthotics and “arch support.” I am willing to bet that you guys can’t hold a tight band under the big toe like this while doing movements and exercises. #Challenge?! The big toe is directly related to glute activation. I see all of your guys’ damn Instagram videos and your feet move around in your cushy shoes like a hyper puppy… they aren’t controlled and stable.
If your “base” or feet aren’t engaged and stable, you are LOSING force output and are unable to engage the glute! You are having to rely on your knees and back to compensate for your movements. When you properly engage the arch of the foot and drive the toes into the ground(especially the big toe), you will get A LOT more glute activation in your motions. I give a few examples of motions in the videos, but everything you do on your feet applies!
If you don’t have a band, you can also put a coin under your big toes and make they don’t lift up. The band is quite difficult because you REALLY have to activate your arch and toe to keep the band down. When doing this exercise, make sure that it isn’t just your big toe that is doing the work, pull the band toward your heel with your arch and slightly rotate the ankle outward.
When applying this to real life… you want to actively engage the big toe! It won’t just do it on its own. Do it everywhere.
